Aspro, thanks for the great info. That's more of what I was interested in, like which brands people have used and their opinions. I've done K&N in the past but those were in civics and what not. I didn't think to consider the other factors with the other options, so good to know. Did you have to calibrate anything after installation? What's your goto shopping site or do you buy products in person?

No calibration required. Before you start the install, disconnect the battery so that you give it sufficient time to reset. When you finish the install reconnect the batter and the ECU will automatically go into re-learn and start adjusting itself to the new intake. Idle may be rough at first and it may die on you while idling but just go out and drive it right away and let the ECU do the rest. It`s very straight forward and very easy.

As far as parts go online I order from Garm at http://shop.microimageonline.com/ he is a huge vendor on this site, a massive supporter of the Yaris community and an all around great guy. He is a good person to get info from as well and he supplies just about every performance part you can think of for your Yaris. His pricing is very competitive and always finds ways to help things work for your budget wherever he can.

Hope this helps buddy. Oh, and I was in Austin 2 years ago for the 3 day MOTOGP races over at the circuit of the Americas. Wicked track, awesome state and very friendly people. Definitely looks like an awesome place to live!

Aspro, again my man, great information! Did you let yours idle for several minutes before driving? I'll check out the site later today, thanks for the link and background info. As for Austin, I actually just moved down (hence just buying a Yaris) from Wisconsin, so now I'm sweating to death but I'm sure in a month when my facebook is filled with snow pictures and I'm sitting in 60 degree weather I'll appreciate it haha. I haven't been down to the track but I really want to check it out, I think there's a formula 1 race soon.

I hate to break this to ya pal but in a month from now you'll still be sweating to death!

Also, there's no worry about sucking up water through your CAI, it doesn't rain here!

San Antonio! Big fan of the spurs possibly the best basketball team ever assembled. Timmy D and the boys sent lebron packing. Amazing.
